Hi lex, I do remember jayeff from the board. He really did seem like one of the more intelligent posters. I had no idea that he passed away, although I did notice I hadn't heard much from him. There are few personalities that I truly enjoy hearing from. Sadly, one of them has now passed.

Also, I would donate a bit but I don't have epass. Sorry. I will keep him in my thoughts, though. Good luck with getting this all sorted out.

This thread need to be made a sticky by one of the mods. Jayeff gave a lot to this board and the webmasters/sponsors community. We need to give something back.

I do have Paypal, so if you'd like to post an address I can send a few bucks to, I'd be happy to help out. I might have to transfer some funds though...I haven't used my account in several months.

Thanks.

He was one of the veterans in the business and I liked him a lot.

Always very helpful and he always took time to explain everything. He posted his last comment on AWI in may and, as always, he was very polite and even said sorry for not checking up on things sooner despite the fact he was sick. He never mentioned anything about being sick in the years I knew him. He just kept helping me and the company whenever I had a question.

I will miss him a lot. He was a gentleman and a good guy who knew his stuff.

Jayeff quickly became one of my favorite posters here, always well-spoken and very inciteful no matter what the topic of discussion was. His posts were refreshingly chock full of common sense and of an intelligent, even tone, even in the face of rabid flaming. I admired him for that, his ability to remain calm was a rare thing but especially so on this board.

I miss his posts. Never did get to do business with him that I can recall, but definitely would have liked to.

RIP old friend.

:D

Not to be sounding the drama alarm or anything, but can anyone confirm real quick that this was in fact jayeff's ePass account?

I have done things, been places, met people. Lots of good times and no disasters. But I find myself asking whether that is all there was supposed to be. If so, it seems kinda pointless, because ultimately none of that stuff matters to anyone except me: and come to that, only to me at the time it was actually happening.

Yes. Except that committment in this context isn't of the sort, I said I will do it, so by hook or by crook I shall do it. It's that when two people are sufficiently important to each other, "making it work" is the only option they can consider. At its core, a relationship cannot be something which was beaten into submission.

As you wrote, successful business people make decisions quickly: often almost in an instant, knowing that the idea is good. But it is conviction rather than committment which makes them stick with an idea for a while, tuning the execution until they get it right, or are forced to admit that this time their instincts were wrong.

Personal relationships are often initiated by hormones, need, circumstances, etc and then we complicate matters further by going through a kind of dance at first, presenting ourselves as we want to be perceived and seeing what we want to see. Later, when the real personalities confront each other, they can be very different. And of course people, especially young people, change. If anything, they are more likely to grow apart than closer together.
